Wayk is a well-reviewed mission alarm, with a 4.7 rating from around 20,000 ratings on the U.S. App Store. Its missions include push-ups, a photo of the sky, making your bed, finding a random object, reading a Bible verse or an affirmation aloud, and math. Its listing is also clear about the catch: “An active Wayk Pro subscription is required to set alarms and use missions.”
That is why people look for a free alternative. Wakr is one. It is built by one independent developer and is not affiliated with Wayk or Dialed Labs. Facts about Wayk on this page come from its public App Store listing on the date above.
Wakr and Wayk side by side
Where the missions overlap
Push-ups. Both apps have them. Wakr’s push-up mission asks for 10 seconds of push-ups in front of the camera rather than a rep count.
A photo of the sky. Wakr’s Spot the sky asks you to keep a bright sky in frame for 5 seconds in a row. No photo is saved. See the photo alarm missions.
Making your bed. Wakr has no make-your-bed mission. The closest is Leave your bedroom, which checks that the bed is empty rather than made.
Math. Both have it. Wakr’s math alarm asks for five correct answers.
Reading aloud and object hunts. Wakr has neither. If a Bible verse or affirmation is the part of Wayk you value, Wakr is not a replacement.
When Wayk is the better choice
If you are happy to pay, like reading a verse or affirmation aloud as part of waking, or want an app with a longer track record and thousands of reviews, Wayk may suit you better. Wakr is new enough that its App Store rating is not shown yet. The point of a free plan is that you can find out whether mission alarms work for you before paying anyone.
Switching from Wayk to Wakr
- 1
Pick the closest mission.
Push-ups, Spot the sky, and math carry straight over. If making your bed got you up, try Leave your bedroom or Walk 100 steps.
- 2
Practise it once.
Setup has you complete the mission before your first alarm, so camera angle and lighting are sorted the night before.
- 3
Cancel the subscription you no longer need.
Deleting an app does not cancel its subscription. Manage it in your Apple ID settings under Subscriptions.
Common questions
Is Wayk free? It is free to download, but its App Store listing states that an active Wayk Pro subscription is required to set alarms and use missions.
Is Wakr really free? Yes. Wakr Free includes one alarm, one routine, and any of the 13 missions, and it does not expire. Wakr Pro adds unlimited alarms and chains up to five missions in order.
Does Wakr have a snooze option like Wayk? No. Wakr has no snooze at all, by design. The alarm stops only when the mission is verified.
